About Bilbao

Bilbao is a cosmopolitan, open, welcoming, lively, elegant and modern city which brings together features of a unique cultural heritage, with a new aesthetic in which the avant-garde shares the streets with art to create a new balanced and remarkable urban landscape.

The Bilbao that you see today is the result of an historic process of renovation and reinvention which was necessary to address the new challenges of the 21st century.

It began with the opening of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, which undoubtedly marked a starting point for the impressive and renowned economic, urban and environmental transformation of the city.
